New York – The studio in New York’s Tribeca neighbourhood is designed to increase the kinaesthetic awareness of busy urbanites.
Founded by fashion industry veterans Aimee Cho and Alex Drexler, Outer Reach is a holistic wellness studio that incorporates bodywork, breathing, postural alignment and myofascial release (a manual therapy technique that helps to relax contracted muscles) to tackle the physical and emotional stress that comes from living and working in the city.
While stretching is typically considered a passive, post-workout activity, the studio encourages one-to-one stretching in order to reconnect people with their bodies and optimise their everyday movements. As well as offering a programme of both individual and group classes, Outer Reach features a series of videos to allow time-pressed consumers to stretch at home.
Pushing forward the concept of Active Recovery, the studio is demonstrating how we will adopt a slower approach to wellness and optimise our bodies in years to come.
